Happy Valentine's Day

This is the book that I made and sent to Cathryn for the Valentine Book Swap over at the Book Arts Forum.

Two hearts made of binders board, covered with burgundy book cloth. The front cover was cut up so it is double-hinged in the middle, bound with the ribbon in the middle. There are about 50 pink heart-shaped pages. And the back cover is lined with a paper doily; i always associate paper doilies with handmade cards and decorations at valentines day, so i really wanted to incorporate it.

thanks, yes i did cut each page by hand. perhaps it is not obvious in these photos, but if you were to see the book for real, it is quite evident that there are lots of little variations in the page size & shape!
